64Bit testing is now up... tested it with my friends laptop, works...

Please report any bugs in our bugtracker.

Janax · 2007-05-21 18:31:13

Sweet - it's downloading packages now. Thanks!

Hi,

The now listening plugin in kdemod-kopete doesn't seem to be working, can any confirm/verify this?

Dunkelstern and Funkyou, thanks. The 64 bit 3.5.7 build seems to be working well so far. I have noticed a little bit of a speed increase, which is always welcome. I've also noticed that KPDF is rendering fonts better. I guess that's a QT-enhanced thing. And GMail is back to before.

One thing that isn't fixed, and I'm not sure if it's been brought up, is the magically collapsing address bar in Yahoo mail. I've never seen it anywhere else but there. It's not a huge deal, unless of course you can't type what you can't see. I am slowly migrating my Yahoo accounts over to GMail accounts. Maybe I should hurry!

Edit

I guess I spoke too soon. GMail seemed to be working until I try to log off. I can't.

Edit 2

I can now. I'll be shutting up for a bit.

When comes kde3.5.7 into curret repo?

funkyou · 2007-05-22 14:35:04

Its mostly ready (we have added plenty of new stuff) and only needs some minor fixes here and there and a fix for this bug before its moved...

thorstenhirsch · 2007-05-22 21:27:49

I just tried to upgrade after changing the repo from current to testing, but pacman tells me, that he can't find a package "nas", which seems to be needed by kdemod-arts.

However, I hope you include the archlinux icon for the kickoff menu again instead of this grey standard kde button.

edit: oh, and btw. the downloads in your kickoff-for-archlinux-posting on kde-look.org don't work anymore. link

I can verify that it is not working.

Now a little goodie for all KDEmod lovers

I made some background images that I want to share. If enough people think these are good we may include them in further releases.

Dark version

Light version

No KDEmod branding, but fresh for the Summer

(Yes i know not too good... but what do YOU do if your computer is compiling about 400MB of packages? *g*)

Today upgrade:

what shall I do: wait for a next version of "kdemod-arts" and upgrade it or use "arts" instead of "kdemod-arts"?

dunkelstern · 2007-05-23 11:53:33

Just uninstall arts and use kdemod-arts.

We can't simply "upgrade" to kdemod-arts because the package name differs.
Just remove arts "pacman -Rd arts" and then install kdemod. (use -Rd to skip removin' arts' dependencies too)

chaosgeisterchen · 2007-05-23 17:24:49

I have the same problem and - guess what - arts not installed. Even if I skip arts, pacman tries to install kdelibs instead of kdemod-kdelibs. The 3.5.7-release of the arch KDE seems to be the problem here.

Ok now... trying to find out why this could happen. (It didn't happen on my machines btw.)

Which architecture are you two using? (i686 or x86_64)
Which version of pacman?
Is the system updated to currrent state of the repositories?
Which Repositories are activated? (testing? unstable?)
Can you do a "pacman -Qs arts" and post the output here?
And please look into "/var/log/pacman.log" if there is something logged about arts.

david_e · 2007-05-23 17:50:10

I don't have "arts" installed...

Using i686, pacman version 3.0.4. My last (successfull) system upgrade was on 20 May 2007, so I am almost up-to-date. I am using base, extra, community and kdemod repositories only.

[davide@hp-arch ~]$ pacman -Qs arts
local/kdemod-arts 1.5.6-3 (kdemod)
    KDE analog realtime synthesizer (kdemod)
local/opencdk 0.5.13-1
    The Open Crypto Development Kit provides basic parts of the OpenPGP message format

[davide@hp-arch ~]$ cat /var/log/pacman.log | grep arts
[09/07/06 15:20] installed arts (1.5.4-1)
[11/02/06 23:49] upgraded arts (1.5.4-1 -> 1.5.5-1)
[01/21/07 20:05] upgraded arts (1.5.5-1 -> 1.5.6-1)
[02/23/07 22:00] removed arts (1.5.6-1)
[02/23/07 22:04] installed kdemod-arts (1.5.6-1)
[03/14/07 16:49] upgraded kdemod-arts (1.5.6-1 -> 1.5.6-1)
[2007-05-11 22:03] upgraded kdemod-arts (1.5.6-1 -> 1.5.6-2)
[2007-05-12 16:16] upgraded kdemod-arts (1.5.6-2 -> 1.5.6-3)

I don't know what else to look for in pacman.log, ask me if you need something more...

chaosgeisterchen · 2007-05-23 18:44:56

Here's mine.
Using i686, pacman version 3.0.4. Last system upgrade was several days ago, do not exactly know when. Should have been 18/05/07 or so. Using current, extra, community and unstable (and - of course - kdemod).

[root@celestary chaosgeisterchen]# pacman -Qs arts
local/kdemod-arts 1.5.6-3 (kdemod)
    KDE analog realtime synthesizer (kdemod)
local/opencdk 0.5.13-1
    The Open Crypto Development Kit provides basic parts of the OpenPGP message format

[root@celestary chaosgeisterchen]# cat /var/log/pacman.log | grep arts
[05/09/07 15:13] upgraded kdemod-arts (1.5.6-1 -> 1.5.6-2)
[2007-05-12 01:35] kdemod-arts (1.5.6-2 -> 1.5.6-3) aktualisiert

Hopefully helpful.

I can verify that it is not working.

I'm having this issue as well, and I am using the official KDE packages.
If you find a fix, please let me know.

thorstenhirsch · 2007-05-23 19:32:19

But I don't want to install nas, because I don't use arts, because it's deprecated and of no use anymore. So why linking a new package against it?

funkyou · 2007-05-23 20:08:07

About the arts stuff:

funkyou wrote:

Arts is needed to build KDElibs for example... There are also many programs that need some headers from arts when building them... You can specify "--without-arts" sometimes but not always, so we need to keep it...

In KDE4.x this will be solved and there will be no more arts...

About the nas stuff:

funkyou wrote:

- arts seems to depend on nas now, and i dont know why. I even hadnt nas installed when compiling... If you get some errors about libaudio.so.2 or something, just install nas...

Adding nas to arts dependencies was just a quick fix for those libaudio.so.2 errors, i still need to check this out... I think you will survive 1 additional package with about 0.6mb until then, and you can always get our PKGBUILDs to check it out for yourself and maybe find a solution, as our time is limited and we cannot check/fix every issue immediately...

Anyone... anyone?

dunkelstern · 2007-05-23 23:10:01

Hm that's weird, it seems pacman wants to install the original arts instead of the updated kdemod version.
I suspect that it is a pacman bug, because kdemod-arts has a "provides=('arts')" and a "conflicts=('arts')" line (what is completely valid as I understood the pacman docs) so it finds a package really named "arts" and thinks it could upgrade "kdemod-arts" to "arts", but then the "conflicts" line kicks in...

But don't quote me on that... I can not reproduce the error on 4 machines here.
Though I'll investigate why this may happen I can't promise to find the error... Sorry.

thorstenhirsch · 2007-05-23 23:19:35

By the way, I've got a quick'n'dirty solution for my problem without installing nas. Right, I know it's not big, but I even had no repo activated, which provides it. So after "pacman -Sy" I removed the line "nas" from /var/lib/pacman/kdemod/kdemod-arts-1.5.7-2/depends. Then I could run "pacman -Su" and it upgraded kde successfully.

However, I don't know anything about this error concerning libasound.so.2. At least it did not occur here ...so far. But it was fun to see how simple pacman works here. That's some kind of motivation to take a deeper look into all this pacman stuff.

funkyou · 2007-05-24 06:11:36

Sorry, i cant reproduce this on 2 machines, one of them freshly installed 2 days ago...

There is also a package on your system which is not in our repo -> kdemod-kde-common-3.5.6-5 (???)

I have a slight assumption that this is because the /current repo is still built with pacman 2.9.x and not 3.0.x... Can you please try to move to the /testing repo and see whats happening then. Replace your kdemod entry with this one:

[kdemod]
Server = http://kdemod.ath.cx/repo/testing/i686

There is no risk with the testing repo, its running perfectly here and has no known bugs anymore... We will move it to /current today anyway...

Also the nas (and esd) dependencies have been removed in the testing repo...

shamrok · 2007-05-24 08:17:00

@funkyou, maybe you will add this nice patch to kdemod -> Alternate logout.

I was on testing before, I guess all my packages were from testing. I switched to current because I had an error message that the server could not be reached. I'll try again. " kdemod-kde-common" dunno where this is coming from.
